I walk home in the
Dark of the night
From the school to my car.
Terrified I call my mom
And now I feel a little safe.
I think,
"Who's gonna hurt someone
Talking on the phone?"
Still it's not enough,
I look back
Every chance I get
To assumed my scared heart
That I'm safe.
The dimly lit street
Don't help!
The horror scene
In my head continues
To unfold.
Finally,
i get into my car
and drive home safely.
Maybe I need to
Stop watching thriller movies
Or
Maybe women's safety needs
To be taken more seriously.

This is basically what goes through my head every time I have to walk in the dark from the school to my car. It's not too long of a walk but the fear of something happening to me feels very real every time.
